Memoirs in UPLB [I.T. 1 Activity]

Haru there! :D

Alam mo ba? Nandito ako ngayon sa ICS PS C-100.
May klase kami ng I.T 1 ngayon, w/ Sir Martee, of coursey. :)

Anyway, in this blog, I MUST share some of my experiences here in UPLB.
(Sabi ni sir eh. Haha jk) :D

Hmm..
This is my 2nd week here in UPLB.
Sa totoo lang, hindi biro ang buhay sa elbi, mga men. Haha.

June 6. My First Night in Men's Dorm :)

I'll not make this so long :) Ang masasabi ko lang, masaya ako dahil I believe na sinwerte ako sa mga naging roommates ko.
So far, napapansin ko namang nagkiclick kami sa isa't isa. Nagkakasundo kami sa mga bagay-bagay, ganun, sabay kami kumakain, etcetera, etcetera. :)
Masaya talaga tumira sa Men's Dorm.. Sabi nga nila, hindi mabubuo ang pagiging estudyante mo sa UPLB kung 'di ka dumaan ng Men's Dorm, haha! :D

As the days passed, syempre dapat hindi lang puro saya at enjoy, lalo na dito sa UP.
Actually, sa unang week pa lang may na-conclude na ako sa elbi life e. Curious much?
Haha. Napagisip-isip ko lang naman na you'll not be able to survive life in elbi if you wouldn't strive.
I mean, lahat kasi ng tao dito competitive. Hindi pwedeng aanga-anga. 'Di pwedeng palamya-lamya.
Kailangan lahat ng gagawin mo may sustansya. Otherwise...

Halimbawa na lang sa mga subjects ko ngayon.
In a short span of time, I already had a taste of college life, in UP.
Grabe, parang naculture shock 'ata ako dito, hahaha.

I'm taking MATH 17 now, College Algebra & Trigonometry, sabi nila that is, maybe, one of the most difficult Math.
And I agree!! Hahaha. Anyway, we're still on Algebra as a Structure right now, pero of all my subjects, dito ako pinakakinakabahan.
Bahala na si Batman sa 5 units ko. T.T

I'm also taking up PSY 1, which I think is interesting. Pero our first meeting with our prof is.. really.. so.. just.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Iniyakan ko pa nga 'yun eh. Nakakahiya!! Haha. Nasindak siguro ako kasi on that meeting, kung anu-ano pinagawa sa amin.
At parang may something na kakaiba kasi sa atmosphere ng room na 'yun that time.
We were asked to memorize every classmates' names, and we were assigned to be a "personal stalker" of another classmate, which would mean, we must follow and keep track of their friggin' private lives.
Dapat irecord namin yung personal info 'bout them, daily routine nila, goals, unusual behavior, worst nightmare, blah, blah, BLAH.

PERO. I'm still not sure if the prof's really serious about these stuff. :)
Kasi there's a big possibility na sina-psychoanalyze lang nya kami noh.
Sabi pa nya: "If you want to learn, stay. But if you want high grades, drop this subject."
Oha? Cute na cute. :))
Pero dahil dyan, parang nabibilib ako sa kanya. Being a doctor. Being a psychologist. He really knows HOW. :D
Challenging 'to. Natrigger tuloy ang curiosity hormones ko :D

May HIST 2 din ako. Asia and the World. Most of my classmates in that large class are in the upper class.
Kaya medyo mahirap din maki-participate. Tapos ginawa pa 'kong quadrant leader kahapon. I'm DEAD. :/
Pero, I think I will love this subject. I may not love History or World History. But my passion in anything Asian is another epic :)

May HUM 2 din ako, one of my favorite subjects so far.
This is all about Arts & Music. Ang saya saya ko 'pag nasa klase ako nito :)
Feeling ko buhay na buhay ako, hahaha. LOL.
Lalo na, when I knew (a while ago) na we're going to have a field trip on Manila, Ilocos, & Baguio, soon! :)
OMG, I love traveling. Kaya wala akong hassle sa Hum2 :D

And lastly. IT 1. Oha oha. Save the best for last, ika nga nila :)
Masaya naman (so far) sa klase na itetchi.
You know how good it feels sitting in front of a computer, regardless of what you are doing. Right?
Haha. Parang feeling ko nga nasa shop lang ako eh, haha joke :)
This is made even more pleasurable because of my nice classmates, and syempre with Sir Martee.
Nakaneng :D Mabait syang prof, maybe because bata pa siya.
Kasi alam mo naman. Ang usual age range ng mga terror proffesors ay yung mga thunders. Hahaha >;))

So. ayun. I think that would make it all :)
I'm not sure when will I be able to write a new post. Bahala na si Lastikman.

Babayou mga meyyn! Sana nag-enjoy kayo :)
Kasi ako hindi! Hahahaha joke lang ulit :D

PS. May 2-hr-break ako after this period. Before Math 17. OMG. I'm eating with my friends again.
Ang saya-sayaaaa :DD

BYeEeeYhH pOoWH!?!! aAAaHHAHMwaAAA@AAAA44HHHh!!!!! ::::***xXOXoxo -----> 10 years bago na-type, char :))

Love much,
kit ^^

College na 'ko! :))

Ohh geez. It's almost here. It's fast approaching. D:


Well, if you're wondering what I'm talking about, lemme give you a not-so-short but brief introduction 'bout this post.. Hmm..


Like any other senior high school students here in my country, I had to take several college entrance examinations after graduation. Well, I took tests & interviews specifically @ the University of Sto. Tomas & @ the University of the Philippines.




Fortunately, and with God's grace, I passed both. Hotel & Restaurant Mgmt. @ UST, and BS Applied Physics in UP (which is absolutely not of my interest). But definitely I cannot go to two schools at the same time, so I had to have a choice --- immediately.


Comparing the two prestige universities is tougher than I expected, considering that decision-making in this case is very crucial. So, I had to consult some of my friends, my family, my adviser. I once even asked Him for a sign.






I went through hell, hell, and hell just to get over with this situation.


But at the end of the day, of course, haha, it was my MOM's decision that reigned :))











Eventhough I presumed to study at UST, she insisted I go to UP.


I cannot blame her, not only because she had the right to decide for me, but also to think that the opportunity to study in the "nation's premier university" (as recognized by the Senate Resolution No. 276 of the Senate of the Philippines, haha!) is too rare to be offered to everyone.


Not for the purpose of humility, but I am not really the type of geeky students who has to have a pair of eyeglasses due to the fact that they ALWAYS study, and had their eyes worn out :))


haha I'm kidding 'cause I have one too :))


Well, the point is I am not sure of what to feel. Should I be anxious for the opening of classes on June8? or should I be nervous?.. Phew. Screw it D:


This June 6 (Sunday), I'm already staying at the dorm I reserved a month ago. It is a UP-accredited dorm, located inside the UPLB Campus itself. Actually thinking about this makes me a little sick. Know why? Because I'm scared! Hahaha! You know I cannot even cook and I am pretty messy about my stuff sometimes. Sigh. This time, I really have to learn to stand with my own two feet. To take care of myself. To live alone. To be independent.

I have so many dreams I wanna accomplish through time, and studying at UP, for me, is one giant leap towards them. So, despite the hardships I might face in college, I just want you to know that I am determined to finish my studies, that's why I am doing these. :)


And upon reading this entry, I hope that I had given you even a little inspiration or motivation :)






And please do remember my last words for today:
"There is no shortcut to any place worth going :)"
